Voices for Change - Delhi
Delhi-born photographer, Ishan Tankar, talks about this summer's unbearable heatwave in New Delhi and the delayed monsoon rains. As a photographer for a Delhi-based magazine, he notes that increasingly his assignments are focused on the impacts of climate change throughout India.
For Delhi, it was quite simple - without the monsoon rains electricity could not be generated. For a city suffering under a 45 degree heat wave, people were forced to sleep in their cars to keep cool, suffer daily power cuts and queue up for water, all of which eventually led to riots in the streets.
It became evident that no matter who you were, you felt the effects of this extreme weather.
